Summary

This guide offers advice on the critical steps of planning, researching, funding, and building support for afterschool programs. It stems from an early Wallace Foundation effort to help fund and learn about citywide systems to advance afterschool programming. The endeavor, which took place during the 1990s, was called MOST, which stands for Making the Most of Out-of-School Time.
